Re: Essene Bread Recipe by Brian dated 11/22/97

"Sprout 2 cups of wheat until the sprouts are only 1/2 inch or shorter. If they
grow longer than that, the final loaf will be too "green". It usually takes 24 to 48 hours for the sprouts to reach 1/2 inch in length.

Grind the sprouted wheat. Brian uses an old fashioned hand-cranked meat grinder. You will end up with a rubbery glob.

Form into an oval shaped loaf and bake in a shallow dish at 250 to 275 degrees (F) for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until browned.

Cool, keep refrigerated, and slice with a wet, serrated knife. The finished bread has a pleasantly sweet flavor. Some like to top a slice with cheese and make a real meal of it.

Note: You can add whatever extra ingredients are appropriate for the blood types in your household ( chopped dates, raisins, salt,honey, grated carrots, whatever). You can also substitute rye grain for wheat, if you prefer. Be creative.

Hope this helps you! Make it at home and save lots of money ( most health food stores sell Essene Bread for a healthy sum).!
